Respect Authority

So Times Square isn’t the only one dropping balls — our faithful readers were undoubtedly disappointed to find few updates from the RA crew over the weekend, and understandably so.

That said, we have totally legitimate excuses. Aaron’s out of pocket, roaming the streets of New York on a vacation that will undoubtedly make him extra bitter upon return to the Windy City; Lou has about four jobs, and I — well, I read five Sookie Stackhouse vampire books over the last six days. Color me incapacitated. 

This isn’t to say shit hasn’t been happening, and with 2009 finally upon us I’m ready to get down and dirty, doing the kind of investigative RA reporting you’ve all come to know and love. For instance, did you know Tom Cruise credits the church of Scientology with — among various things like negating psychiatry and saving the world — curing his childhood dyslexia? Or that reality programming has gained enough credibility for The City and Bromance to warrant reviews in the New York Times?  (Spoiler: The Times - not a Hills fan). Or that American Gladiators star Dan Clark’s steroid habit gave him bitch tits?

Don’t worry dear readers, we’re still here. And queer. Get used to it.
